The idea of moving the entire solar system was eye-opening for me. B-b-b-but couldn’t you use a really big Star Gate to move the solar system instantly? There is one detail to work out, though, and I expect that Dr. Metzer is our only hope for finding a solution. The problem with Star Gates (a special case of transporters) is knowing precisely what to transport. A transporter must somehow know not to send merely the tip of your nose or your toes. In Dr. Metzger’s grand scale, the Star Gate must not send only the first outer planet it encounters (or Pluto, depending on the transporter’s take on that issue), the rest of us being left behind, so to speak. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if the Mega Star Gate sent Earth to her new destination, but not her Sol mate?
